| Explanation | September 29, 2020Dear Internal Revenue Service:We are including information regarding reasonable cause for not assessing late penalties with the electronically filed Form 990 for Coalition Application, Inc. (Employer Identification Number 47-3703555). The Form 990 was filed late; however, we believe there is reasonable cause for the late filing, as described below. No penalties have been assessed; however, we are including this information with the filed form for the consideration of the IRS in its review of the e-file submission. The Coalition Application, Inc.s (the Coalition) Form 990 for its year ended June 30, 2019 was originally due on November 15, 2019. Form 8868 was e-filed and accepted by the IRS for an extension of time to file through May 15, 2020. The IRS then effectively extended the due dates of tax returns due on May 15, 2020 to July 15, 2020 due in large part to the COVID-19 crisis. After encountering a number of difficulties and challenges, as more fully described below, the Coalition was able to electronically file Form 990 with the IRS in late September 2020.The Coalition was incorporated in April 2015 and completed its first partial tax year on June 30, 2015. During that period of time, the Coalition was primarily devoted to initial organization and governance matters and did not conduct any revenue generating activities, receive any contribution or grants or incur any expenses. During the years ended June 30, 2016 through 2019, the Coalition grew rapidly to a membership of over 150 colleges and universities, and grew rapidly also in its development of programs to enhance student access to an affordable college education. During this time, the Coalitions staff were employees of the University of Chicago and the majority of the costs of the organization were managed by and paid by the University of Chicago and then reimbursed by the Coalition. During the year ended June 30, 2019, the Coalition began to take on more administrative responsibilities for its receipts and disbursements functions, and accounting and administration functions in order to prepare for it to be fully independent from University of Chicago oversight. The Coalition staff was comprised of five to six program staff and did not have any administrative or accounting staff, therefore, recordkeeping and bookkeeping was performed by its Executive Director. Due to the transition from University of Chicago oversight and the fact that the Coalition had three different Executive Directors within a period of 12 months, all documentation was not maintained and retained, and accounting records kept up to date, in order to allow for a timely filing of the organizations IRS Form 990. In addition to these issues, the staff of the Coalition work in remote locations at several home offices across the country, and this remote working environment, coupled with the conditions caused by COVID-19, made the process of obtaining, organizing, compiling and reconciling University records, Coalition records, banking records, and customer and vendor records even more difficult. Eventually the Coalition was able to bring in a bookkeeper and after much time and effort was spent creating check registers and accounting records, and obtaining supporting documentation for transactions with customers, members and vendors, the Coalition was able to accurately compile and summarize its financial position and results of operations for financial reporting and tax reporting purposes. After this significant progress was made and these financial statements and the IRS Form 990 were prepared and reviewed by the Coalitions board of directors, the IRS Form 990 was e-filed with the IRS in late September 2020.Our purpose in including these statements with the e-filed return is to demonstrate that the late filed return was not a result of intentional neglect by the organization, Coalition Application, Inc. The combination of events described above, many of which were beyond the direct control of the Coalition, including the process of transitioning from the University of Chicago and the challenges caused by this transition, to the challenges caused by having to reconstruct customer, vendor, banking and accounting data that had not been retained in an orderly fashion by its staff who had left the organization, and the administrative and programmatic challenges caused by the departures of two Executive Directors within a short period of time, resulted in the Coalition being unable to prepare and file its IRS Form 990 with the IRS in a timely manner. The process of filing a timely and accurate return with the IRS turned out to take much longer than anticipated due to the difficulties, challenges and reasons outlined above. We think that you should also consider the fact that since its inception in 2015, the Coalition has filed all of its annual IRS Forms 990 with the IRS on a timely basis (Tax Years 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017). And after solving these issues and by retaining competent staff, the Coalition looks forward to resuming this track record of timely filing immediately. Based on the above information, we believe that there is reasonable cause for late submission of the Form 990, and we request that the IRS waive any penalties that would ordinarily be assessed related to this late filed Form 990.Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.
